Massachusetts Researchers Identify Two Great White Sharks Close to Shore
The Great White Shark, also by the name its official name – Carcharodon charcharias, is a huge swindler which typically hails from moderate and amazonian rain that in fact gets to about six m (20 ft).
Local marine biologists, including Dr. John Chisholm, would engage in studying sharks twice a week from now on, doing field work in collaboration with the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy.

With the addition of the two newcomers, biologists at the state’s Division of Marine Fisheries have identified a total of 21 sharks off Chatham this summer, said Greg Skomal, a biologist in the marine department.
The pictures shared by the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy showed two sharks very close to research boast.
Apart from this method, they also use aerial transport such as planes to search for the sharks in the water where they can record them via video which Skomal says is part of the the larger effort for this research. Atlantic White Shark Conservancy president Cynthia Wigren was of the view that on Tuesday, they have spotted multiple sharks and had enough footage of two to be identified by scientists.
One of the two recently spotted sharks was swimming along the shoreline, but no swimmers were taking long baths in the area at that time.
The team of researchers is working on a 5-year study to identify how many white sharks are present near Cape Cod Beach. So far, we have two great whites that have remained faithful to the area.
One of the white sharks was spotted just a few hundred feet from the coastline.
Wigren said this season, 16 new sharks have been identified and three have been tagged.
In comparison to last year, activity this year is greater.
